Intersectional Feminism in Nevada

Nevada NOW is a chapter within the larger National Organization for Women (NOW) network. We work on a broad range of women’s rights issues and affect change through community organizing, grassroots lobbying, and litigation.

AUGUST CHAPTER MEETING ANNOUNCEMENT

Join us August 18, 2018, 2-3:30pm at the Sahara West Library Glass room for our monthly meeting. We are excited to have NOW/PAC endorsed Congresswoman Dina Titus join us as our speaker. She has been a long time supporter of Nevada NOW and we look forward to campaigning with her to send her back to Congress.

Lindsey Harmon, Executive Director, Nevada Advocates for Planned Parenthood, will be joining us to introduce her organization and talk about how they work with 501C3's, and their priorities the next legislative session. She was unable to make our last meeting and we are happy she has rescheduled to join us.

Candidates are always welcome to come and introduce themselves to our members.

Thanks to everyone who came and early voted and attended our after party. We are grateful to Connie & Richard Munk for hosting us and the candidates that attended. We met candidates and learned about wine and chocolate pairing. - June 2018

Nevada NOW is excited to announce its endorsement of Steve Sisolak for Nevada State Governor. Sisolak has shown he is an ally to women through his lifetime of unwavering support for women’s organizations and their agenda for a more feminist future. The members of Nevada NOW band together to support Steve as he heads into the general election against a candidate that is committed to destroy any legislative progress Nevadans have made over the last half century.

Nevada women refuse to be seen as less than their value in the eyes of the law or in the eyes of their governor. Sisolak will fight for women because he believes everyone, regardless of gender, should be given equal opportunity to better the lives of themselves, their families and their communities. Protecting women’s reproductive rights, education reform, health care for all and gun sense reforms are his priorities.

There has never been a time more imperative than now for women and their allies to come together and resist the policies of the past. We fight for a feminist future and we stand with Steve Sisolak for Governor of Nevada.

July's Nevada NOW meeting.

At our July Nevada NOW meeting Sen. Spearman held a workshop to show us how to access the Legislative website and learn how to track and lobby bills in the next Legislative Session.
